This weekend, Vimeo is hosting a competition. Shoot one minute of footage during the “Magic Hour” (also known as the “golden hour”).
Also this weekend is the international 48 Hour Film Competition where teams have 48 hours to write and produce a complete short movie. In fact, your humble developer will be competing in the New Orleans chapter. Our entry last year even got a few awards!
Both are excellent opportunities to use Sol: Sun Clock—it can be an essential planning tool for location shoots as many cinematographers and photographers have mentioned. I’ll definitely be keeping tabs on how much daylight is left where we’re filming… looks like sunrise is at 6:26 tomorrow morning, and the morning golden hour ends before 7:30 so we’ll need to get an early start…
